I'm chill, I'm genuine and I'm honest. I take care of my friends to the best of my ability and hate drama. I'm kind of a smart ass and a bit cynical. I live by a somewhat old fashioned set of morals and rules that I'm still fine tuning. I have an off the wall sense of humor, but chances are it'll make you laugh. Or I'll make a corny joke and you'll look at me like I'm crazy. Either way, it's all in good fun. I don't play games. If I like you I'll tell you. Same thing if I don't. I'm pretty tolerant of most people. I treat everyone with a basic level of respect and from what I've been told, I'm pretty well liked among pretty much anyone that knows me.

The women in my life say I give great hugs. I get called, "a big teddy bear" quite often. I like to give them as well as receive. I am usually the good friend type. I'm obviously here on OKC to find more than that.

I like good people, good music, good beer and good times. Some times I can drink a lot. Other times I don't drink at all. Everything in moderation... even moderation.

Short and simple...

I'm working two jobs in order to survive out on my own here in San Jose. I'm 24, have my own apartment (with a roommate) and my own car. I don't get any help from the parents. I think I'm doin ok for myself. I'm not taking any expensive cruises or livin the sweet life any time soon, but I am on a career path now that will hopefully get me at least a few trips and good life experiences.

I'm also learning bass guitar and trying to get back into music. I also know how to play trombone, tuba, didgeridoo and piano. I'm not really good at any of em, but I'm decent at all of em.

I recently decided to start getting more healthy and fit. I got a gym membership and go at least a couple times a week. I'm already seeing and more importantly feeling the difference.

Other than that, I'm just tryin to keep my head up and enjoy the company of those around me.

listening to people. I'm a decent musician. I am a pretty good writer. I'm one of those types that is good at a lot of things, but not great at any of them.

I'm also very good at keeping a cool head. It takes A LOT to drive me over the edge. I am the one that breaks up fights instead of starting them. That's probably why I'm a bouncer at a club now... at least now I get paid to break up fights.

I can also probably kick your butt at Soul Caliber, Street Fighter 2 and Halo.

The first thing people notice is that I am quite large. Yep. 6'5" 260 lbs. I'm a big dude. I'm also quite friendly.

Also, I like some TV shows, but watch them by DVD or downloads... I don't have time to schedule my life around a TV show's air time. Some of these shows include: The Daily Show with John Stewart, The Colbert Report, Deadwood, John Adams, Breaking Bad, Life On Mars, Red Dwarf, Family Guy, Metalocolypse, Frisky Dingo and a few others.

Friends, music, books, food/water, sex and beer... in that order.

What can I say? I'm easy to please.

Politics, music, the human mind, and life as we know it.

I don't really have a typical Friday night. Some nights I'm at a live music show in downtown SJ. Other nights I'm partying with some friends. Other nights I'm laying low at home with a movie or some video games.

I wear a size 10 hat... which I can't find anywhere. Buy me one?! Then again... that's not really private. You'd probably figure that out if you met me.

You should message me if you are entertained by or can relate to this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lkRTyP86Jcg. Only looking for friends at this point though.

Or message me if you want to meet someone who is intelligent, genuine and doesn't play games or perpetuate drama. You should also match that description.

It would be really nice if you like live music. I'm always goin to shows around here and would like someone to ride along.

I'm not that picky about what you look like. Looks fade. Personality is what stands the test of time. Obviously there needs to be at least SOME physical attraction though.
